I don't believe Power BI have this function built-in. You could export the report as a PDF and then run it through a service such as Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/password-protect-pdf.html

Or any other PDF editor that might suffice. 

EDIT: You could use Power Automate like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hWPOIf5TaE
